Leggett and Bruckner: a woman in the crosswalk, a driver who kept going
Hunts Point: Jan 1, 2022 - Sep 3, 2025
Just after midnight at Leggett and Bruckner, a 32-year-old woman lay in the crosswalk. The driver went north and did not stop (ABC7, Gothamist, NY Daily News, NYC Open Data).
She is one of 9 people killed on Hunts Point streets since Jan 1, 2022. Police recorded 1,100 injuries in that same window (NYC Open Data). The numbers keep coming.
Night brings more hurt. Around 9 PM, this area logged 102 injuries and 4 serious injuries — the worst single hour on the clock (NYC Open Data). Trucks add weight to the risk; this period includes at least one pedestrian death involving a truck and more injuries tied to heavy vehicles (NYC Open Data). Failure to yield and distraction show up again and again in crash reports here (NYC Open Data).
Across Hunts Point, Bruckner corridors rack up bodies and broken bones. On Bruckner Boulevard, police logged 271 injuries. Nearby entries list Bruckner Blvd again with 2 deaths and 79 injuries. The expressway adds 96 injuries and 2 serious injuries to the toll (NYC Open Data). The same names, the same harm.
In 2023, as the Bronx waited for leadership, Council Member Rafael Salamanca said it plain: “There is no borough commissioner in the borough of the Bronx… Please speed it up” (Streetsblog NYC). The crashes did not wait.

The corner keeps bleeding
Aug 26, 2025. The woman killed at Leggett and Bruckner was identified as Dilmania Lopez de Rodriguez. Police say she was in the crosswalk when a northbound driver struck her and fled (ABC7, New York Post, NY Daily News).
This is not the first time the Bruckner spine shows up in the logs. The roll of injuries on Bruckner Boulevard and the expressway marks it as a repeat hotspot in this neighborhood (NYC Open Data).

What the numbers say about when and how
Hunts Point saw 1,897 crashes logged since 2022. They include 9 deaths and 14 serious injuries across modes. Pedestrians alone suffered 39 recorded cases from SUVs, 30 from sedans, and 15 from trucks; at least one of those truck cases was fatal (NYC Open Data).
The 9 PM hour hits hard here, followed by steady harm late into the night and after midnight. Reports list named factors like failure to yield and driver distraction among the causes pinned to local crashes (NYC Open Data).
—
The fixes are on paper
Basic street moves fit the pattern at Bruckner and Leggett: daylight every corner, give longer lead-walk time, harden turns, and tame truck turns on the northbound approach. Target enforcement at night when the injuries spike. Focus on trucks where they mix with people on foot — this neighborhood sees them every day. These steps match the harms in the logs here (NYC Open Data).
Citywide, the state has a bill to stop the worst repeat speeders. In Albany, the Senate’s S 4045 advanced with local Senator Jose Serrano listed as a co-sponsor and a “yes” vote in committee (Open States). In the Assembly, Amanda Septimo co-sponsors the matching A 2299 (Open States). These bills would require intelligent speed limiters for drivers with repeat violations, a direct curb on the small group that does outsize harm.
Lower speeds save lives. The city has the tools to drop speeds and redesign its worst corridors. The pressure comes from you. Start here: Take action.
